Why does Poland hate Russia? ⚔️ #shorts

Why do Poland and Russia hate each other ?

Poles have a lot of reasons for not liking Russia, (as a country),not the Russian people.

In the 18th century, Russia and Prussia partitioned Poland, leading to the dissolution of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This event is still remembered by many Poles as a symbol of Russian aggression.

Following the German attack in September 1939, the Soviet Union in cooperation with Nazi Germany, entered into Poland creating a completely hopeless situation for the Polish Army. After that Soviet Union and Nazi Germany divided the country between themselves.

During the Cold War, Poland was a Soviet satellite state and its economy was heavily controlled and planned by the Communists.

In the 80s, the Polish economy was in a deep crisis, characterized by high inflation, shortages of basic goods, and a large external debt.

The border between Poland and the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad has been a source of tension between the two countries for many years. The dispute centers around the location of the border, particularly in the area around the Vistula Lagoon and the Neman River delta

After nearly 300 years of Russian control, Poland wants to be as far as possible from the Russian sphere of influence.

Completely skipped the 1920 Polish-Soviet War.

[matartur]

In fact, Poland and Russia have been fighting each other for over 1000 years

[maximvf]

Fact: modern Russia celebrates a national holiday on the day when people's uprising led by Minin and Pozharsky overthrown Polish–Lithuanian occupation government in Moscow. It's called National Unity Day.

Bro just skipped 90% of history between Poland and Russia

[sebastianzukowski]

Russia, Prussia and Austria.

It wasn't always though that Russia had upper hand. Prior mid XVII century Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth won 3 wars against Tsardom of Russia: Livonian Campaign, Polish-Muscovite War and Smolensk War. Each time gaining territory. From then on, especially in XVIII it went tits up for multitude of reasons.

You did a great job at skipping, as someone said, 90% of history.

as someone born in Poland, I have to say Poles are a very mixed group of slavs, germanics and scandinavians. I personally have nothing but love for the Russian people
all wars are for profit of a few

My brother in Christ, we hated Russia before America was a thing

[ashfield]

The question should be ‘why do the Poles support the Ukrainians after the Ukrainian Nazis exterminated 100, 000 Poles in WWII.

[GabrielHellborne]

The answer to the question of why any European nation hates another: history. Just, so much history.

[atashiinandeska]

Bro forgot 1500-1900 as well





Edit: I started a conflict in the comment section. Enter with caution.

[mykolanesov]

Country AND people. Why not people? Country is people, don’t manipulate.

[aliasaila]

You're really good in history revisionism by leaving out the important facts about polish agression against Russia and Germany

[salavat]

The animosity goes back to the turn 1500’s and 1600’s, during the “Time of Troubles, when Polish Lithuanian Confederacy invaded Russia. The Polish Lithuanian Confederacy tried enthrone a “False Dimitri”, on three different occasions, as Tsar. It has been a source of distrust of Poland in Russia ever since.
Then from 1772 to 1795 Poland was partitioned three times between the Prussian, Austro-Hungarian, and Russian Empires. In the end Poland became a province in the Russian Empire until 1918. The source of ill will in Poland.
Now add to the mix the Poles are catholics and the Russians are Orthodox Christian.
And that’s the historic foundation of their dislike for one another.

Poland stopped existing like 17 times in history.

After Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union concluded their Nonaggression Pact of 1939 and Germany invaded Poland from the west, Soviet forces occupied the eastern half of Poland. As a consequence of this occupation, tens of thousands of Polish military personnel fell into Soviet hands and were interned in prison camps inside the Soviet Union. But after the Germans invaded the Soviet Union (June 1941), the Polish government-in-exile (located in London) and the Soviet government agreed to cooperate against Germany, and a Polish army on Soviet territory was to be formed. The Polish general Władysław Anders began organizing this army, but when he requested that 15, 000 Polish prisoners of war whom the Soviets had once held at camps near Smolensk be transferred to his command, the Soviet government informed him in December 1941 that most of those prisoners had escaped to Manchuria and could not be located.


The fate of the missing prisoners remained a mystery. Then on April 13, 1943, the Germans announced that they had discovered mass graves of Polish officers in the Katyn forest near Smolensk, in western Russian S.F.S.R. A total of 4, 443 corpses were recovered that had apparently been shot from behind and then piled in stacks and buried. Investigators identified the corpses as the Polish officers who had been interned at a Soviet prison camp near Smolensk and accused the Soviet authorities of having executed the prisoners in May 1940. In response to these charges, the Soviet government claimed that the Poles had been engaged in construction work west of Smolensk in 1941 and the invading German army had killed them after overrunning that area in August 1941. But both German and Red Cross investigations of the Katyn corpses then produced firm physical evidence that the massacre took place in early 1940, at a time when the area was still under Soviet control.

The Polish government-in-exile in London requested that the International Committee of the Red Cross examine the graves and also asked the Soviet government to provide official reports on the fates of the remaining missing prisoners. The Soviet government refused these demands, and on April 25, 1943, the Soviets broke diplomatic relations with the Polish government in London. The Soviets then set about establishing a Polish government-in-exile composed of Polish communists.


The Katyn Massacre left a deep scar in Polish-Soviet relations during the remainder of the war and afterward. For Poles, Katyn became a symbol of the many victims of Stalinism. Although a 1952 U.S. congressional inquiry concluded that the Soviet Union had been responsible for the massacre, Soviet leaders insisted for decades that the Polish officers found at Katyn had been killed by the invading Germans in 1941. This explanation was accepted without protest by successive Polish communist governments until the late 1980s, when the Soviet Union allowed a noncommunist coalition government to come to power in Poland. In March 1989 this government officially shifted the blame for the Katyn Massacre from the Germans to the Soviet secret police, the NKVD. In 1992 the Russian government released documents proving that the Soviet Politburo and the NKVD had been responsible for the massacre and cover-up and revealing that there may have been more than 20, 000 victims. In 2000 a memorial was opened at the site of the killings in Katyn.

On April 7, 2010, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin joined Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a ceremony commemorating the massacre, marking the first time that a Russian leader had taken part in such a commemoration. Three days later, on April 10, a plane carrying Polish Pres. Lech Kaczynski to another commemoration ceremony crashed near Smolensk and the Katyn site, killing Kaczynski, his wife, the head of the national security bureau, the president of the national bank, the army chief of staff, and a number of other Polish government officials.

In November 2010 the State Duma (the lower house of the Russian Federal Assembly) officially declared that Joseph Stalin and other Soviet leaders were responsible for ordering the execution of the Polish officers at Katyn.

I love how some random Americans are creating such stuff with basic knowledge from Wikipedia just like this guy. I'm not saying he is wrong but this is just a peek of an iceberg, you need to know that history of Europe and entire world is far far older than the US

[tonkasergej]

I really can’t stress enought how good neighbor Poles are to us, even they are way bigger country than Czechia they never bullied us in a modern history, glad to have them as our neighbors

[hig]
